If they were inert or training rounds, maybe. One exploded in the air over the freeway. A completely unnecessary risk meant to intimidate and threaten American citizens who were protesting the fascist government.

Can you imagine if Obama—even now— posted an AI video of himself as a king throwing sh!t on Americans?The outrage would be real.

Of course, Obama would never do such a thing. But alas, we have a sitting President who did.

So disgusting. Those who laugh this off wouldn’t if it was the opposite way.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Call it a state-organized tax strike. Call it fiscal disobedience. Tell me it’s illegal. I don’t really care. The law, which is now Trump’s preferred fascist tool, is not justice and is not binding when its founding social contract is disregarded. We must stop paying for our own fascist subjugation.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 22h

Yesterday, millions marched against fascism. Now our elected leaders need to take action to confront Trump’s assault on Democratic cities and states.

In The Guardian today, I outline a strategy: “fiscal disobedience” as one part of an “anti-fascist federalism.”

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it.

As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

And this is exactly why you should never feel bad for “agreeing” with these losers on something. They have no spine, they’ll never take a stand against him. They just say what’s most politically expedient for them at that moment.

Not to be all "if Biden did this" because the hypocrisy is the point, but people would rightly call for the man to step down if he had done this. And I'm not even talking from a political perspective here.
